Description Low-atmosphere Work Equipment is provided for employees working on the higher levels of the space elevator where the atmosphere is low. At minimum, Low-atmosphere Work Equipment entails a breathing mask and an oxygen tank. However, some researchers are trying to produce a system that recycles air or store up air in closer to earth stretches to eliminate the need for bulky air tanks. However, usually companies also issue pressurized suits of varying quality depending on what sort of tasks the employee is expected to perform and what part of the elevator they are working on. After all, higher levels have less ambient atmosphere and require further protection than the lower portions of the elevator.
